According to Deadline, the logline is under wraps. However, the film has been described as an “R-rated and terrifying love letter to the horror genre, centering on an ensemble cast.”

Developed by Supermassive Games, 2015’s Until Dawn is a video game featuring an interactive, choice-based narrative that follows eight friends trapped at a secluded lodge on Blackwood Mountain. Two of the group’s friends mysteriously vanished at the same lodge one year prior. This time, the group realizes they are not alone, and must battle a killer on the loose as well as the elements to survive the night.

Until Dawn’s popularity led to a spinoff, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, a prequel, The Inpatient, and a spiritual successor, The Quarry. A remake of Until Dawn is scheduled to arrive this fall on PlayStation 5 and PC.

There are no new British dramas premiering on PBS in November, but there's more than enough programming to see you through the penultimate month of 2024. Ken Burns is premiering his new documentary, Leonardo da Vinci, about the world's most famous Renaissance man, artist, and inventor. And PBS has several other documentary and nature programs slated to run throughout the month.

PBS' non-partisan coverage of the 2024 presidential election will culminate on Tuesday, November 5. But if you're really missing your British dramas, there are encore presentations of All Creatures Great & Small and Call the Midwife coming as well.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in November 2024
A man stands in front of a caution sign.

James Patterson's Alex Cross character is getting a third chance in live-action this month on Amazon Prime Video. Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry have previously portrayed the titular detective character. Now, Black Adam's Aldis Hodge steps into the role. The new Cross series is Prime Video's biggest debut in November, but far from the only noteworthy addition. There are a lot of new additions to the streamer's movie lineup, including The Godfather trilogy, Silver Linings Playbook, and the unconventional vampire film Abigail.

Additionally, Prime Video is rebooting Cruel Intentions as a drama series, which has the potential to be another big hit for the streamer. And aside from Die Hard, there are only a handful of Christmas titles coming this month. We can appreciate a little restraint, especially since December will likely be a very different story.
